A survey of wildlife needs to be carried out and impact of protected species considered and amenities put in place to support this. Thorough investigation and survey of anti-flooding measures needs to be conducted of the site and impact on surrounding areas before any future planning investment is carried out. There is no health centre in the village so a proposal for a centre should be included in the plan. There is no longer a direct bus service between Hockley Heath and Shirley shopping centre, so improvement to local bus services should be included (X20 service to Stratford-Upon-Avon has been discontinued). A plan for regular road/drain clearing needs to be included for the village. Traffic calming measures for School Road must be included.

The plan is inappropriate because it doesn't safeguard protected species e.g. bats in vicinity. School Road between Blackberry Way and Tutnall Drive floods, as well as does further towards Blythe Valley regularly during wet periods. Unlike other areas of the borough leaves and ditches are not cleared by council. The environment needs the trees/hedgerows to help what will be additional carbon emissions, but they also need to be maintained. Additional 90 houses with up to 2 cars per household will seriously impact on traffic in an already very busy narrow lane.
